Well.. I've installed it. I won't know how useful it is to me until after I have had some opportunities to forget about things (hopefully, not including the H names provided by this addon).
Currently, J's package manager does not support version tracking for adhoc addons. Maybe that's something one of us can eventually build. For now, I guess we rely on the forums or happenstance to find out about such updates. I'll note in passing that I have a vague memory of J's control-F1 context sensitive help providing some loosely similar information at one point. It currently seems to be non-functional (in my brief tests). Maybe the control-F1 support could use some attention (and maybe I mis-remembered what it did, in which case "could use some attention" might be interpreted as "could be extended to provide some additional information").
